Very cool, but I can easily see this being misused. Imagine corporations "hacking" your wearable PC so that instead of personalized messages from friends, you're bombarded by tailored advertising on every surface, a la Minority Report. Information wars, right around the corner, waged on the human body. Creepy. Stuff like this pushed frontiers of privacy vs. free speech vs. free market. I know which side I'd come down on, but I'm not sure our society would go in the direction I'd like to see.
